Help! no speech!

[Steven M. Sawczyn]

Greetings, with much anticipation, I downloaded Zipspeak and set it up
as per the accompanying instructions.  Although the system boots fine, I
do not get any speech with my DoubleTalk LT synth on com1.  Should
speech start automatically, or must I modify something as root to get
things started?

I downloaded the LTLK kernel and, just incase loadlin was causing
trouble, tried booting from a floppy.  Again, the system seems to boot
fine, I can login as root, etc..., just no speech.

If anyone would be so kind as to tell me what I'm doing wrong, I'd be
really appreciative.

Steve
